Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
Where I’ve become so numb.
Without a soul
My spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home.

From the throne of Hell, he watched her. Gripping the arms of his dark throne until permenant finger marks were created, he held back. This is what she wanted. This is what she had asked for. He gritted his teeth as he watched her turn pale and listless. He growled as she became faint from lack of blood. He turned away at her tears of frustration, which threatened to crush his black heart. But when another man put his hands on her, all eight circles of Hell heard his cry of rage. In the mortal world,  the noon sky turned to midnight, lightning flashed, and thunder rolled. Everybody outside took cover. Everybody inside stayed put.
The girl had gotten the man to leave her alone by sinking her long nails deep in his throat, however it took the last of her strength. She fell to the ground with a thud, and laid there crying. How could she have been so stupid? How could she possible have questioned his love? How could she have asked to leave him and return to this horrible mortal world? She just wanted to go home.

(wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can’t wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can’t wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I’ve become.)

She screamed out her frustration to the sky, but her words were thrown back at her. She begged for him to come and save her, but she knew he would not. After all, she was the one who told him not to no matter what. For the first time in centuries, she was afraid. How ironic. The Lady Death, Queen of Hell, was afraid of the mortal darkness she had put herself in. More tears followed as she whispered softly into the mud,
         "Please, please, my Lord, save me. Save me from the nothing I've become. I need you."

Now that I know what I’m without
You can’t just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life.

The Earth shook as if it was being split into, but she didn't notice. She felt nothing, not the cold winds whipping around her, not the icy rain pelting her delicate flesh, nothing....nothing until warm arms surrounded her. A hand brushed her hair away from her face as a deep voice said,
"I am here. I have you now, my love."
Looking up into deep, green eyes, she gasped and instantly clung to the giant man who held her. Kissing his face almost shyly, she whispered,
         "My Lord, now I know....know what it is like without you. Please, don't leave me. I am so very sorry for ever wanting to leave. I want my life back. I want you back. Please!"

Bring me to life.
I’ve been living a lie
There’s nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

"I have come to take you home, my Lady. Without you, I am lost. I tried to stay away just as you asked, but I cannot live without your touch. Only you make Hell worth living in. I love you and I will not let you go again," he growled in her ear as he hugged her close.

All of this sight
I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept in the dark
But you were there in front of me

I’ve been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I’ve got to open my eyes to everything.

As their lips met in true love's kiss, all her strength returned, and her coloring returned to normal. Gripping each other tight, they admitted at the same time,
"I was in the wrong."
The Lady pressed her fingers against his lips and smiled as she said," I cannot believe I ever doubted you or my place at your side. I will never take you for granted again if you will only forgive me."
Kissing her fingertips, the Lord said," I will only forgive you if you forgive me. I have been taking you for granted all these centuries. By you leaving me, you made me open my eyes to everything. I need you to keep my soul alive. I will never take you for granted again."
Tears were in both of their eyes as they walked, arm in arm, down steps into the earth. Lord Satan and Lady Death had returned to rule Hell together, and Armaggedeon was no longer at hand. The mortal world was safe as was the immortal world. After all, can you imagine what would happen if The Lord of Darkness lost the only one he had ever loved, the only one who kept that darkness contained in Hell? Or what would happen if Lady Death lost her love, the only one who could keep her kiss of death where it was meant to be? Just imagine what our world would be like if......well, that's another story.
